My faith is based upon the positive results of applying love to others in my life.

The fact tgat you quoted it, even tough it's right above your answer, shows how important you think you are. The simple reply button wasn't good enough, it had to be a big fat quote. I know what I said, you are the one who didn't get it.
No need to get offended. Or offensive.
That's also mildly mad behaviour. Immediately attack as defense move. At least it's not pretty.

Uh. No. I actually didn't say that. You're quoting someone else. Knock it off.

My faith is based upon the positive results of applying love to others in my life. I see it as a positive force of good in the world with tangible results. Dispensing love is like dropping a pebble in a pond and seeing the ripples spread out to affect other objects. God's manifestation of love through people works that way. Kind of a chain reaction of goodness.

Okay, I owe you an apology. I must have clicked reply to the wrong post, that was meant to be a response to Peeple. So sorry about that. I guess that explains why your response didn't make sense to me, LOL!

Theres quite a few studies that suggest its hard wired into us
www.independent.co.uk...
Belief and the brain's 'God spot' Scientists say they have located the parts of the brain that control religious faith. And the research proves, they contend, that belief in a higher power is an evolutionary asset that helps human survival.
Happy are those conscious of their spiritual need
Maybe the source that connects us maintains this within each of us as a part of our eternal spirit

What is spirituality and where is the scientific evidence?
If theres none, then spirituality is just an abstract term to prop up an argument.
Bear in mind i used to be a Christian for over 15 years and loved going to church, was even in the Boys Brigade.
I was a true believer using the same arguments as Theists use.
